Free ConsultationCornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Delhi
A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with healthy tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of your eye. It helps focus light into your eye so you can see clearly. If your cornea is damaged by disease, injury, or wear and tear from contact lenses, it can become cloudy and distort your vision.
A cornea transplant can improve vision and help make your eye look normal again. Cornea transplants are among the most successful of all organ transplants.
If you or someone you know is considering cornea transplant surgery, be sure to consult with Dr. Shweta at MantraCare. She will be able to answer any questions you may have and help you make the best decision for your situation.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces all or part of the cornea, which is a thin tissue covering the surface of your eye. The cornea helps your eye to focus light directly on the retina at the back of your eye. Types of corneal transplant surgeries include:
- Penetrating Keratoplasty: The most common form of corneal transplantation is a penetrating keratoplasty, which involves replacing the diseased cornea with an allograft (cornea from a donor) through a unique instrument.
- DSEK: Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) is a type of corneal transplant surgery performed with the help of endothelial keratoplasty. The surgeons using this procedure replace the diseased part or diseased cells in the eye with healthy donor tissue. This replacement is done through a thin flap of the cornea, which is made with the help of a surgical laser and then stitched back after DSEK surgery to provide proper healing
- DMEK: It is a type of corneal transplant surgery where only the posterior, endothelial layer of the eye’s cornea is replaced. The main difference between DMEK and other forms of corneal transplants (DSEK) is that DMEK involves the “Descemet membrane” located just beneath the inner cornea, which is replaced and repairs gas-permeable barrier in a patient’s eye.
- Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty: It allows the regrowth of tissue on the interior surface of the eye. It does not require removal from donor tissue & can be used to treat patients in need of corneal transplant & to improve vision.
- Artificial Cornea Transplant: It is the process of implanting a prosthetic device in place of the natural tissue. In case of corneal damage, this surgery is done to restore sight as well as prevent further damage and blindness.
